Why do the Yankees always win? The other team can't stop looking at the pinstripes.

Keystone State of mind- song parody
Parody of New York State of mind
Some folks though we’d get away
Take a Holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a Flight out to Disneyland
Play the series in the Angel’s hood
But I’m stuck here in traffic
Out on Route I- 95
I’m in a Keystone state of mind
We’ve seen all those Dodgers
Leave in their 25 separate Limousines
Froze our ass in the Rockies
Beating a better team
Now you know who we’re facing
And I’m not going to waste your time
I’m in a Keystone State of Mind
It was so easy winning day by day
When the New York Mets limped into town
But I’m afraid things might not go our way
when the New York Yankees bat around.
I root for a Philly team that has lost more times
Than any other team playing any sport
I root for a team that’s named for a female horse.
I come from a city that snowballs
Santa Claus
I’m in a Keystone State of Mind

Everybody says we hated the Yankees. We didn't hate the Yankees. We just hated the way they beat us.
I even believe if you're killing a team, you shouldn't stop. You should respect your opponents enough to play 100 percent the whole time. And by the same token, if you're getting killed by the other team, you should never quit.
I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team.

I really want to make this the last stop of my career. I don't want to be a vagabond, so to speak, and be traveling from team to team, year in and year out. I'm not that type of guy. I like to be settled.

George Steinbrenner, the Boss
He bought the Yankees for a song
From CBS and Michael Burke:
He worked restoring Yankee Pride
It was his life's great work.
The House that Ruth built long ago
Was then in disrepair
Where aging veterans stumbled through
long seasons of despair.
With Crafty Gabe Paul at his side
He made some dandy trades-
Deals that worked out better
than the one Mike Kekich made.
The boss was quite the artist
And his medium was rare.
Free agents flocked to sign here
Sacrificing facial hair.
Wth Munson as his Captain
And Jackson as his straw
He won a pair of trophies
And the Yanks became a draw.
For hiring and firing
The Boss has known few equals
As soon as Billy would depart
The Boss would plan a sequel.
But Munson took up flying
One day he died in flames.
Remember Murcer’s Eulogy
at church and in the game?
Boss castigated “Mr. May”
When Rings were hard to find-
George fell for Howie Spira’s spiel
and was banished for a time.
Just then his Yanks in doldrums lay
as the Mets in Queens would rise.
Gene Michael Drafted wisely
And he held on to his guys.
A core of good young players rose,
His Yanks on top again
Mr. Torre won four trophies
with Mo Rivera in the Pen.
George built a brand new Stadium
On River Avenue
And his team went to the Series
cause that’s what the Yankees do.
And on the Night Godzilla roared
The Yankees won it all
It’s dedicated to the Boss,
for now and ever more.

Two Seater
I wanna wake up in your arms
I wanna set off your alarm
I wanna break into your car
and I wanna take out the backseat
The one where you told me everything
I thought I'd always wanted to hear
the one where you told me that it's over
And everytime you look in your rearview mirror
I hope you see me
And all the stuff we did when we were back there together
UH HUH
I hope you like your two seater
no radio
keymarks parralel to the pinstripes
windows broken you T tops stole
Now it's one of a kind, thanks for the ride
I gotta get the hell out of dodge
I just spent the whole night avoiding the cops
and I just don't think I'll go to the clink
Just cuz I took out the backseat
remember you told me everything
i thought i'd always wanted to hear
and that's where you told me that it's over
And everytime you look in your rearview mirror
I hope you see me
and all the stuff we did when we were back there together
UH HUH
I hope you like your two seater
no radio
keymarks paralell to the pinstripes
windows broken your T tops stole
now it's one of a kind, thanks for the ride
Can you hear your radio?
I bet you can't hear your radio
So you'll never know i wrote this song for you
Sorry that your tires are flat
I know you really weren't expecting that
Guess I got a little carried away
so when you look in your rearview mirror
I hope you see me there
I hope you like your two seater
no radio
keymarks parralell to the pinstripes
windows broken your T tops stole
now it's one of a kind, thanks for the ride
twwo seater
thanks for the ride
two seater
thanks for the ride
two seater
thanks for the ride

Be in a Team.
Form a team and be a part of it.
Even a double is a team, mind.
One day you can be its captain.
Being in a team is feeling good.

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

I'm On The Football Team
Coach says I'm real good...Best kid in the neighbourhood.
Looks like I've got a future ahead of me.
Starting quarterback, number 13. Mom and Dad are so proud of me.
I'm down with the cool kids, oh yeah.
They know I'm cool, the chicks dig me, and it's okay.
I get replaced, but it's alright, 'cause they all know...I'm on the football team.
Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na
I'm on the football team. (x2)
I'm getting chicks left and right. They're lined up for Saturday night.
Just to go down on me, oh yeah.
And when I walk down the hall, all of the nerds and geeks fall,
down on their knees and worship me.
They know I'm cool, the chicks dig me, and it's okay.
I get replaced, but it's alright, 'cause they all know...I'm on the football team.
Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na
I'm on the football team. (x4)
Hey dad guess what!
What's that son?
I'm on the football team.
Well jimminy in the buckhole.
Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na
I'm on the football team. (x4)

To pitch a perfect game wearing pinstripes at Yankee Stadium, it's unbelievable. Growing up a Yankee fan, to come out here and make history, it really is a dream come true.

The night before the football match
It's the night before the Saturday match
will the team let us down again?
Got a good feeling we'll be smiling
instead of leaving full of pain.
Hope our new striker gets a goal
and our defence is like a brick wall
we totally outplay the opposition
with lots of goals and superb football.
But then again we've sold players
and we haven't won a game yet
and the team we're playing are unbeaten
so I won't be putting money on us in a bet.
Anyway can't wait for Saturday to come
and to go and cheer the team on to victory
and even if our team gets a hammering
there's no other place I'd rather be!

Baseball
Can you smell the fresh cut grass and feel the energy of the crowd
The roaring sound of thousands as they cheer what makes them proud
The sound of a wooden bat making contact with a fastball
The joy of millions at home watching their team give it their all
In many circumstances the only thing in common of a father and son
Is the love to watch their team drive in the winning run
It will make grown men cry tears of joy and tears of pain
Hardened up drunken tough guys and do good sensitive men its all the same
It can lift the spirits of an entire city as they prepare that parade
A world series victory how it can just feel so heaven made
Think of what Jackie done to elevate his entire race
Or what the Yankees did in 77 the pain of a city it did erase
In 2004 the mighty sox let many finally rest in peace
An end to Bostons suffering 86 years of defeats
And just a year later the Black Sox finally cleaned themselves white
Chicago finally got to celebrate making Shoeless Joe in the right
We waved goodbye to curses miracles we all had seen
As baseball did what it always has filling every Americans dream
